NOTICE: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the
local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection.
In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by
means of certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance
with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
User should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone
lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Digital Security Controls Ltd. could void your
authority to use this equipment.
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, in strict accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and
found to comply with the limits for Class B device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart “B” of Part 15 of
FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in any residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
interference to television or radio reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
■
Re-orient the receiving antenna
■
Relocate the alarm control with respect to the receiver
■
Move the alarm control away from the receiver
■
Connect the alarm control into a different outlet so that alarm control and receiver are on different circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the FCC helpful: ”How to Identify and Resolve
Radio/Television Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,

The Load Number of this device is 10.
AVIS: L'étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie
que le matériel est conforme à certaines normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de
télécommunications. Le Ministère n'assure toutefois pas que le matétiel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.
Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise
locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthod acceptée de
raccordement. Dans certains cas, les fils intérieurs de l'entreprise utilisés pour un service individuel a ligne unique
peuvent être prolongés au moyen d'un dispositif homologué de rassordement (cordon prolongateur tèlèphonique
interne). L'abonné ne doit pas oublier qu'il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus
n'empechent pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations. Actuellement, les entreprises de
télécommunication ne permettent pas que l'on raccorde leur matériel a des jacks d'abonné, sauf dans les cas précis
prévus par les tarrifs particuliers de ces entreprises.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent etre effectuées par un centre d'entretien canadien autorisé désigné par
le fournisseur. La compagnie de télécommunications peut demander à l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la
suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d'énergie électrique,
des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d'eau métalliques, s'il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est
particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.
AVERTISSEMENT: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-meme; il doit avoir recours a un
service d'inspection des installations électriques, ou a electricien, selon le cas.
L'indice de charge (IC) assigné a chaque dispositif terminal indique, pour éviter toute surcharge, le pourcentage de la
charge totale qui peut etre raccordée a un circuit téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce dispositif. La terminaison du
circuit bouclé peut etre constituée de n'import quelle combinaison de dispositifs, pourvu que la somme des indices de
charge de l'ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.
L'indice de charge de cet dispositif est 10.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
NOTIFICATION TO TELEPHONE COMPANY Upon request, the customer shall notify the telephone company
of the particular line which the connection will be made, and provide FCC registration number and the ringer
equivalence of the protective circuit.
FCC Registration Number: F53CAN-73256-AL-E
Ringer Equivalence Number: 0.1B
MALFUNCTION OF THE EQUIPMENT In the event that this equipment should fail to operate properly, the customer
shall disconnect the equipment from the telephone line to determine if it is the customer’s equipment which is not
working properly, or if the problem is with the telephone company network. If the problem is with this equipment, the
customer shall discontinue use until it is repaired.
TELEPHONE CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS Except for the telephone company provided ringers, all
connections to the telephone network shall be made through standard plugs and telephone company provided jacks, or
equivalent, in such a manner as to allow for easy, immediate disconnection of the terminal equipment. Standard jacks
shall be so arranged that, if the plug connected there is withdrawn, no interference to the operation of the equipment at the
customer’s premises which remains connected to the telephone network shall occur by reason of such withdrawal.
INCIDENCE OF HARM Should terminal equipment or protective circuitry cause harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company shall, where practicable, notify the customer that temporary disconnection of service may be
required; however, where prior notice is not practicable, the telephone company may temporary discontinue service if
such action is deemed reasonable in the circumstances. In the case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone
company shall promptly notify the customer and will be given the opportunity to correct the situation. The customer
also has the right to bring a complaint to the FCC if he feels the disconnection is not warranted.
CHANGE IN TELEPHONE COMPANY EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES The Telephone Company may make
changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures, where such actions is reasonably
required and proper in its business. Should any such changes render the customer’s terminal equipment incompatible
with the telephone company facilities the customer shall be given adequate notice to the effect of the modifications to
maintain uninterrupted service.
GENERAL This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to party line service is subject to
state tariffs.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER (REN) The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may
connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but
not all areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the
number of devices that you may connect to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company.

APPENDIX A
LIST OF AVAILABLE ASCII CHARACTERS
INTRODUCTION
The LCD-4500 keypad provides easy to understand English language information
about the status of your security system and makes daily operation simple by
prompting the user through each operation.
The keypad provides audible feedback each time a key is pressed and with unique
audible sequences it signals troubles and the correct or incorrect entry of information.
ABOUT YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM
Your DSC security equipment has been designed to give you the greatest possible
flexibility and convenience. The LCD-4500 keypad will guide you through each
operation with English language prompts. Read this manual carefully and have your
installer instruct you on system operation and on which features have been
implemented on your system. All users of this system should be equally instructed in
its use.
FIRE DETECTION
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke
detectors and providing a warning alarm if a fire condition is detected. Good fire
detection depends on having adequate numbers of fire detectors placed in
appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in accordance with
N.F.P.A. standard #74 (N.F.P.A. Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully
review the Family Escape Planning guidelines in this manual.
NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it
becomes functional.
✎ Important Note
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and,
if included, a monitoring station of an emergency situation. Security systems are
generally very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they are not a
substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security
system should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who
should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on system
operation.
16
1
MONITORING
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles, and emergency information
over telephone lines to a monitoring station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm,
immediately call the monitoring station to prevent an unnecessary response.
NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes
functional.
GENERAL SYSTEM OPERATION
Your security system is made up of a PC4000 and one or more LCD-4500 and various
detectors and sensors. The DSC control panel will be mounted out of the way in a
utility room or basement. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses
and stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer or
service person to have access to the control panel. The LCD-4500 keypads have an
audible indicator, an alphanumeric LCD, (Liquid Crystal Display), and command entry
keys. The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current
system status. The keypad(s) will be mounted in convenient locations inside the
protected premises close to the exit-entry doors.
The security system has several zones or areas of protection and each of these
zones will have one or more detection sensors connected to it (motion detectors,
glassbreak detectors, door contacts or shock sensors). When a sensor is in alarm,
the zone in alarm will be displayed on the LCD-4500.
TROUBLE AND ARMED LED DISPLAYS
The LCD-4500 has a yellow LED on the right side of the keypad which represents
the trouble status of the panel. There is a red LED just below the yellow one which
represents the armed status of the panel.
SYSTEM MASTER CODES
System Master Codes are used for arming and disarming the control panel, for
viewing the armed/disarmed status of the partitions, for programming additional
security codes and for entering ‘user functions’. See [✱][5] User Programming
Commands for programming System Master Codes. In the disarmed state, entering a
Master Code will cause a nine selection menu to be displayed as follows:
[0] Arm Partition
[1] Arm Diff Part.
[2] Disarm Diff Part
[3] View Partitions
[4] Set System Time
[5] Set System Date
[6] System Reset
[7] Enable DLS Window
[8] Previous Menu
[0] Arm Partition will arm the partition the keypad is on. The keypad will display the
message ‘Exit delay in progress’ and the armed light will come on.
[1] Arm Diff Part. will show a menu of the other partitions and their armed/disarmed
status. R means it is ready to be armed, N means it is not ready to be armed,
and A means the partition is armed. If the partition status is R, then this partition
can be selected to be armed. If a partition is not enabled, it will not be displayed.
2
MAINTENANCE
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following points
should be observed.
1.Do not wash the keypad with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a barely damp cloth
should remove normal accumulations of dust.
2.The battery/bell test is designed to determine battery condition, however it is
recommended that the stand-by batteries be replaced every three years.
3. For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or
microwave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the respective
manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance.

15
FAMILY ESCAPE PLANNING
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes
deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and
rehearsed.
1.Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house and since
many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes
from sleeping quarters.
3. It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the interior
door. To facilitate such an escape:
■ Make sure that doors and/or windows that open to the outside are easily
opened. e.g. not painted shut.
■ Simply making the exit may be too difficult for children, the elderly or
handicapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This includes making sure
that those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning
signal.
■ If the exit means is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope
should be provided as well as training in its use.
■ Exits on the ground level should be kept clear, e.g. remove snow from exterior
patio doors.
■ The family should have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can
be accounted for, e.g. across the street or at a neighbours.
■ Once everyone is out of the house call the Fire Department.
■ A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate first or attempt to
fight the fire and do not attempt to rescue valuables or pets as this takes up
valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire
department.
■ Write the plan down and rehearse frequently so that should an emergency
arise, everyone will know what they are to do. Revise the plan as conditions
change, e.g. more or fewer family member or changes to the house.
■ Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests as
noted elsewhere in this manual. If you are unsure about system operation,
contact your installing dealer.
■ It is recommended that you contact your local fire department and request
further information on home fire safety and escape planning. If available, have
your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.

KEYPAD ZONES
There are three keys on the keypad labeled [F] Fire, [A] Auxiliary and [P] Panic.
These keys are only functional if they have been programmed by the installer. The
installer should indicate which of these keys are active by placing a colored label
next to the key.
[F] FIRE
Holding this key down for two seconds will sound a fire alarm. The alarm will sound
pulsing and a transmission will be sent to the monitoring station. The keypad will
sound three beeps once the panel has accepted the alarm.
[A] AUXILIARY
Holding this key down for two seconds will send a transmission to the monitoring
station.
[P] PANIC
Holding this key down for two seconds will send a transmission to the monitoring
station. The installer can program this key to sound the alarm or to transmit the alarm
silently.

ARMING
Close all protected doors and windows and stop movement in areas covered by
motion detectors.
The “Enter Code to Arm System” message should be on the LCD display. The
system cannot be armed unless the “Enter Code to Arm System” or “Secure System
or Enter Code...” message is displayed.
Enter a [4 Digit Security Code]. As each digit is entered the keypad will beep.
■
If the security code was entered incorrectly, the keypad will beep steadily for 2
seconds.
■
If the code was entered correctly but the system was not secure due to an open
zone, the keypad will beep quickly followed by a steady tone.
■
When the correct code is entered, the “Exit delay in Progress” message will be
displayed and the keypad will beep three times quickly. If a System Master Code
was entered, the system master menu will appear. See “System Master Codes”.
A timer will appear in the right side of the display indicating the remaining time in the
exit delay. Exit the premises through the designated exit-entry door. At the end of the
allowed exit time the message on the keypad will change to “Enter Code to Disarm
System”.
QUICK ARM
[✱]+[0]
Entering [✱][0] is accepted as a valid arming code when the “Quick Arm” feature is
activated. This command is often used when individuals are required to arm the
system but not disarm it. This could be used with home visitors in the case of a
residential alarm or junior employees and maintenance staff in the case of a
commercial alarm. See instructions in the “[✱][6] Users Programming Commands”
section for activating the “Quick Arm” feature. Users with a one-time use access code
should not use this feature, because the one-time use code is only erased when it is
used to arm the system.
QUICK EXIT
[✱]+[0] WHEN ARMED
Entering [✱][0] when the system is fully armed will allow the user 2 minutes to exit the
premises through any delay zone without altering the status of the system if the “Quick
Exit” feature is enabled. After [✱][0] is entered into an armed system, one and only one
delay loop may be tripped. Any additional activity on any other active loop will cause
that loop to begin its alarm sequence. Quick exit activation will be logged onto the
event buffer.
DISARMING
Enter the premises through the designated exit-entry door. The keypad buzzer will be
on. Go to the keypad and enter the [4 digit security code]. If an error is made in
entering the code, press the [#] key and enter the code again. The “Armed” light will
go out and the keypad buzzer will stop. The correct security code must be entered
before the allowed entry time expires. If an alarm occurred while the panel was
armed, the “View Memory” message will be on the display with the zone name for the
zone that caused the alarm. The display will keep those messages on for two minutes
or until the [#] key is pressed to return the panel to the normal arm-disarm mode.
AUTO-BYPASS/HOME-AWAY ARMING
If a correct security code is entered and you do not exit the premises through a
designated exit-entry door, the system will, at the end of the Exit delay time, arm with
interior zones automatically bypassed if those interior zones have been programmed
as “Home-away” zones. These zones will remain bypassed until a delay zone is
tripped or [✱][1] is entered to reactivate bypassed home-away zones.
FIRE SAFETY IN THE HOME
Most fires occur in the home and to minimize this danger it is recommended that a
household fire safety audit be conducted and a family escape plan be developed.
HOUSEHOLD FIRE SAFETY AUDIT
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition e.g. frayed cords,
over-loaded lighting circuits? If you are uncertain about the condition of your
electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluation.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well ventilated
cool area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are fire hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good
working order? Have a professional evaluation.
This is a convenience feature for someone who wishes to remain on the premises
with the system armed. That person does not have to manually bypass the homeaway zones.
To reactivate the Home-away zones that have been automatically bypassed, press
[✱][1]. This command is a quick method of fully arming the system in residential
applications before going to bed.

VIEW PARTITIONS
[✱]+[6]+[ACCESS CODE]+[8]
This function will allow the user to view the status of other partitions that their
access code has been enabled for in the access code partition mask. The
partition mask is programmed in the [✱][5] User Programming commands, when
programming the user access codes. For example, if an access code has been
enabled in the partition mask for partitions 1, 2 and 5, they can only view the
status of these partitions.
To view the partitions status, press the [<] or [>] key to toggle through the
partitions. The partition labels will be displayed along with a letter to the far right.
The letter shows the status of that partition.
A means the partition is Armed,
R means the partition is secure and Ready to be armed, and
N means Not ready to be armed because zones are not secure.
This function must be enabled by the installer for the user to be able to enter this
section. If the installer does not enable this section, you will hear an error tone
when selecting this section.
INSTALLERS’ PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
[✱]+[8]+[INSTALLER’S CODE]
This command is used by the installer to program the PC4000.
“AT-HOME” ARMING
[✱]+[9]+[ACCESS CODE]
Entering [✱][9] before the arming code, arms the panel without any entry delay on
the delay zones and bypasses zones that are defined as “Home-away”. This
command is used for arming the system while at home. Once the panel is Armed
in this mode, using [✱][1] will remove the bypass from those zones defined as
“Home-away” if they have NOT been manually bypassed. The [✱][1] command,
as used here, only removes the bypass from zones that were automatically
bypassed with the [✱][9] command.
12
ZONE BYPASSING
[✱]+[1]
A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. If a zone is bypassed the panel may be
armed even if the zone is open. Use zone bypassing when access is needed to
part of the protected area. Also, damaged wiring or contacts on a zone may be
temporarily bypassed until repairs can be made so that the panel can be armed.
To bypass zones, enter [✱][1]. An access code may be required if the installer has
enabled that option. A menu will appear.
[0] Bypass Zones - This selection takes you immediately to bypassing zones. Use
the [<][>] to select the zones to be bypassed and press the [✱] key to select the
zone. A “✱” will appear beside the zone label to indicate the zone will be bypassed
when the partition is armed.
A zone search routine allows the user to find the desired zone to bypass by entering
in the first letter of the zone to search for, and pressing one of the [<][>] keys. The [<]
key will search for the first zone on the partition that begins with the letter selected.
The [>] key will search for the last zone on the partition that begins with the letter
selected.
The letters of the alphabet have been divided up among the 1-9 number keys on the
keypad.

[1] Clear Bypasses - Removes all bypasses from all the zones in your partition and
then takes you to bypassing zones. None of the zones will have a “✱” beside them.
[2] Recall Bypasses - Selecting this will bypass all the same zones that were
selected the last time zones were bypassed. This is for users that are always
bypassing the same zones.
[3] Previous Menu - takes you back to the “Enter Code to Arm System”.
When the PC4000 is programmed, the ability to bypass certain zones may have been
eliminated by the installer. In this case, the “✱” message for those zones will not come
on in response to the bypass command. Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled
when the panel is disarmed.
NOTE: At no time can any armed zone be bypassed.
While the system is disarmed, bypassing can be used to temporarily silence the
door chime feature on a zone. Simply bypass the zone that the door chime feature
enabled. The keypad will no longer beep when the zone is opened. Be sure to clear
all bypasses before arming, to ensure no zones are unintentionally bypassed.

TROUBLE DISPLAY
6
[✱]+[2]
The PC4000 continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of
these conditions occurs, the keypad “TROUBLE” indicator will light and the audible
indication will sound (two short beeps every 10 seconds). When the [#] key is
pressed the audible indication will stop on that partition, but the trouble indicator light
will remain ON until the trouble is cleared. Trouble conditions can also be transmitted
to the monitoring station. Press the [✱] then [2] keys to display the trouble conditions.

USER PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
[✱]+[5]+[MASTER CODE]
The [✱][5] Access Codes programming command is used to program additional
access codes of any type.
The PC4000 has 128 access codes. In the Installer’s Programming Section, these
codes can be divided up and assigned to partitions, or are turned into System
Master Codes, which have control over all partitions. This must be done before the
user can program the access code and the code type.
The first code is the System Grand Master Code. Only the Installer can change this
code, unless the Installer has enabled the user to change the System Grand Master.
There are 11 types of codes:
System Grand Master Code has no limitations to its use. It can create or delete
other System Master Codes or perform any other user feature the PC4000 user is
capable of doing. Only the first access code (Access Code 001) can be a System
Grand Master.
System Master Codes can do anything on the system. They can be used to
bypass, view memory, view trouble, etc. They may be used to create or delete any
type of code except for System Master Codes.
Partition Master Codes has unlimited access to their own partition. These types of
codes can create, delete or alter any code type in their partition other than System
Masters. They can only assign users to their own partition.
Arm/Disarm/Bypass Access Code may arm, disarm or bypass on the partition
to which it has been assigned.
Arm/Disarm Access Code can only be used to arm or disarm the partition to
which it has been assigned.
Arm Only Access Code can only arm the partition to which it has been assigned.
Door Strike Code can only activate [✱][7] utility output on the partition it belongs to if
the partition is disarmed.
Log Only Code will only put a record on to the event buffer.
Arm/Disarm/OTU Code is erased when used to arm.
Arm Only OTU Code is erased when used to arm.
Door Strike OTU Code is erased after used.
NOTE: OTU stands for One Time Use.

PROGRAMMING ADDITIONAL ACCESS CODES
USING A SYSTEM OR PARTITION MASTER CODE
1 Press the [✱], then [5] key to enter the User Programming Commands. The
keypad will display ‘Enter Master Access Code’. Either a System Master or Partition
Master Access Code may be entered.
■ If a System Grand Master Code is entered, the user will have the option of
programming System Master Codes or Access codes in any partition.
■ If any other System Master Code is entered, the user will have the option of
programming Access Codes in any partition.
■ If a Partition Master Code is entered, only the Access Codes in the same partition
can be programmed.
2 Upon entering the partition of codes to program, the display will show for 3
seconds the number of free codes and the total number of codes for that partition.
For example, if 10 codes have been assigned to a partition by the installer, and the
user has 4 access codes already programmed, the display will say ‘6 codes free, 10
codes total’.
3 Next, ‘Sel Code (1) <>’ will be shown on the top line of the LCD display. The
number in brackets represents which of the codes in that partition is being
programmed. For example, if 10 access codes were assigned to the partition, the
number in the brackets would range from 1 to 10 as you toggle through the codes
using the [<][>] keys.
‘Access Code’ along with a number showing which of the 128 access codes is being
programmed will be shown at the bottom line of the LCD display. For example, if you
have 5 codes assigned to be System Master codes, and 10 codes assigned to
partition 1, when programming the System Master Codes the display will show
‘Access Code 1’ to ‘Access Code 5’. When programming codes in partition 1, the
display will show ‘Access Code 6’ to ‘Access Code 15’.

4 Use the [<][>] keys to toggle to the code to be programmed, and press the
[✱] key to select. A menu for editing access codes will be displayed. The menu
selections are:
[0] Program Code - When selected, the keypad will display ‘Enter Digits’ and what
is currently programmed for that access code. Enter in the 4 digit code. Do not
press [✱] or [#] while entering the access code. If you do not wish to change the
code, use the [<][>] keys to exit. When you have finished entering the code, if
you are programming System Master codes, the keypad will return to selecting
which System Master code to program. If you were programming Access Codes
for a partition, the keypad will ask you to select the class of the code being
programmed. See ‘Edit Code Class’.
[1] Erase Code - If a code is no longer needed, this selection will erase the code. It
does not erase the code name.
[2] Edit Code Class - Do not select this section when programming System
Master codes, only when programming partition access codes. Your selections of
code class types are Partition Master codes, Arm/Disarm/Bypass, Arm/Disarm,
Arm Only, Door Strike, Log Only, Arm/Disarm/OTU, Arm Only OTU and Door
Strike OTU.
[3] Edit Code Name - This section is for editing the access code name. If a PC4400
RS-232 module is enrolled on the system, the access code name is printed out
when the code is used to arm and disarm. Also, the access code name helps keep
track of which access code belongs to who when programming codes. The cursor
can be moved left or right using the [<][>] keys. The letters of the alphabet have
been divided up among the 1-9 number keys on the keypad.
[1] = A, B, C, 1 [2] = D, E, F, 2 [3] = G, H, I, 3 [4] = J, K, L, 4
[5] = M, N, O, 5 [6] = P, Q, R, 6 [7] = S, T, U, 7 [8] = V, W, X, 8
[9] = Y, Z, 9, 0
For example, if you press the [4] key, the letter ‘J’ will appear above the cursor on
the display. Press the [4] key again, the letter ‘K’ will appear above the cursor.
Press the [4] key a third time and the letter ‘L’ will appear above the cursor. Press it
again and the number ‘4’ will appear on the display. If a different key is pressed, for
example the [6] key, the cursor will automatically move to the right one space, and
the letter ‘P’ will be displayed. To erase a character, move the cursor under the
character using the [<][>] keys, and press the [0] key.
While programming the access code label, press the [✱] key to call up an options
menu. To select an option, either press the corresponding number key, or toggle
through the options using the [<][>] keys and press the [✱] key to select.
[0] Clear Display [1] Clear to End [2] Change Case [3] ASCII Entry (See appendix A)
[0] Clear Display will clear the entire code label.
[1] Clear to End will clear the display from the character where the cursor was
located to the end of the display.
[2] Change Case will toggle the letter entry between upper case letters (ABC...) and
lower case letters (abc...).
[3] ASCII Entry is for entering uncommon characters. There are 255 characters,
but 000 to 031 are not used. Use the [<][>] keys to toggle through the characters
or enter a three digit number from 032 to 255. Press the [✱] key to enter the
character into the code label.
[4] Edit Part. Mask - Only System Master codes can program the Partition Mask
for access codes.
The Partition Mask is used to enable a code to work on more than one partition, so
that the access codes do not have to be repeated if you want them to work on
more than one partition. For example, if an arm, disarm or bypass access code is
programmed under partition 2, and set in the partition mask to work on partitions 1,
2 and 3, the code can be entered on any keypad belonging to partitions 1, 2 or 3.
Whichever partition the code is entered, will be armed or disarmed. Access codes
cannot be used to arm and disarm other partitions from one keypad, like System
Master codes.
DO NOT SELECT THIS SECTION WHEN PROGRAMMING SYSTEM MASTER
CODES.
You do not have to program the partition mask for the partition that the access
code has been programmed in. For example, if the code has been programmed in
partition 4, and you do not want it to have access to any other partition, none of the
partition mask settings need to be programmed including partition 4. The only
place it will make a difference is viewing partitions in the [✱][6] User Function
Commands. The user can only view the status of partitions that their codes have
been enabled for.

A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. If a zone is bypassed the panel may be
armed even if the zone is open. Use zone bypassing when access is needed to
part of the protected area. Also, damaged wiring or contacts on a zone may be
temporarily bypassed until repairs can be made so that the panel can be armed.
To bypass zones, enter [✱][1]. An access code may be required if the installer has
enabled that option. A menu will appear.
[0] Bypass Zones - This selection takes you immediately to bypassing zones. Use
the [<][>] to select the zones to be bypassed and press the [✱] key to select the
zone. A “✱” will appear beside the zone label to indicate the zone will be bypassed
when the partition is armed.
A zone search routine allows the user to find the desired zone to bypass by entering
in the first letter of the zone to search for, and pressing one of the [<][>] keys. The [<]
key will search for the first zone on the partition that begins with the letter selected.
The [>] key will search for the last zone on the partition that begins with the letter
selected.
The letters of the alphabet have been divided up among the 1-9 number keys on the
keypad.

[1] Clear Bypasses - Removes all bypasses from all the zones in your partition and
then takes you to bypassing zones. None of the zones will have a “✱” beside them.
[2] Recall Bypasses - Selecting this will bypass all the same zones that were
selected the last time zones were bypassed. This is for users that are always
bypassing the same zones.
[3] Previous Menu - takes you back to the “Enter Code to Arm System”.
When the PC4000 is programmed, the ability to bypass certain zones may have been
eliminated by the installer. In this case, the “✱” message for those zones will not come
on in response to the bypass command. Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled
when the panel is disarmed.
NOTE: At no time can any armed zone be bypassed.
While the system is disarmed, bypassing can be used to temporarily silence the
door chime feature on a zone. Simply bypass the zone that the door chime feature
enabled. The keypad will no longer beep when the zone is opened. Be sure to clear
all bypasses before arming, to ensure no zones are unintentionally bypassed.

ARMING
Close all protected doors and windows and stop movement in areas covered by
motion detectors.
The “Enter Code to Arm System” message should be on the LCD display. The
system cannot be armed unless the “Enter Code to Arm System” or “Secure System
or Enter Code...” message is displayed.
Enter a [4 Digit Security Code]. As each digit is entered the keypad will beep.
■
If the security code was entered incorrectly, the keypad will beep steadily for 2
seconds.
■
If the code was entered correctly but the system was not secure due to an open
zone, the keypad will beep quickly followed by a steady tone.
■
When the correct code is entered, the “Exit delay in Progress” message will be
displayed and the keypad will beep three times quickly. If a System Master Code
was entered, the system master menu will appear. See “System Master Codes”.
A timer will appear in the right side of the display indicating the remaining time in the
exit delay. Exit the premises through the designated exit-entry door. At the end of the
allowed exit time the message on the keypad will change to “Enter Code to Disarm
System”.
QUICK ARM
[✱]+[0]
Entering [✱][0] is accepted as a valid arming code when the “Quick Arm” feature is
activated. This command is often used when individuals are required to arm the
system but not disarm it. This could be used with home visitors in the case of a
residential alarm or junior employees and maintenance staff in the case of a
commercial alarm. See instructions in the “[✱][6] Users Programming Commands”
section for activating the “Quick Arm” feature. Users with a one-time use access code
should not use this feature, because the one-time use code is only erased when it is
used to arm the system.
QUICK EXIT
[✱]+[0] WHEN ARMED
Entering [✱][0] when the system is fully armed will allow the user 2 minutes to exit the
premises through any delay zone without altering the status of the system if the “Quick
Exit” feature is enabled. After [✱][0] is entered into an armed system, one and only one
delay loop may be tripped. Any additional activity on any other active loop will cause
that loop to begin its alarm sequence. Quick exit activation will be logged onto the
event buffer.
DISARMING
Enter the premises through the designated exit-entry door. The keypad buzzer will be
on. Go to the keypad and enter the [4 digit security code]. If an error is made in
entering the code, press the [#] key and enter the code again. The “Armed” light will
go out and the keypad buzzer will stop. The correct security code must be entered
before the allowed entry time expires. If an alarm occurred while the panel was
armed, the “View Memory” message will be on the display with the zone name for the
zone that caused the alarm. The display will keep those messages on for two minutes
or until the [#] key is pressed to return the panel to the normal arm-disarm mode.
AUTO-BYPASS/HOME-AWAY ARMING
If a correct security code is entered and you do not exit the premises through a
designated exit-entry door, the system will, at the end of the Exit delay time, arm with
interior zones automatically bypassed if those interior zones have been programmed
as “Home-away” zones. These zones will remain bypassed until a delay zone is
tripped or [✱][1] is entered to reactivate bypassed home-away zones.
FIRE SAFETY IN THE HOME
Most fires occur in the home and to minimize this danger it is recommended that a
household fire safety audit be conducted and a family escape plan be developed.
HOUSEHOLD FIRE SAFETY AUDIT
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition e.g. frayed cords,
over-loaded lighting circuits? If you are uncertain about the condition of your
electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluation.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well ventilated
cool area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are fire hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good
working order? Have a professional evaluation.
This is a convenience feature for someone who wishes to remain on the premises
with the system armed. That person does not have to manually bypass the homeaway zones.
To reactivate the Home-away zones that have been automatically bypassed, press
[✱][1]. This command is a quick method of fully arming the system in residential
applications before going to bed.

FAMILY ESCAPE PLANNING
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes
deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and
rehearsed.
1.Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house and since
many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes
from sleeping quarters.
3. It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the interior
door. To facilitate such an escape:
■ Make sure that doors and/or windows that open to the outside are easily
opened. e.g. not painted shut.
■ Simply making the exit may be too difficult for children, the elderly or
handicapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This includes making sure
that those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning
signal.
■ If the exit means is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope
should be provided as well as training in its use.
■ Exits on the ground level should be kept clear, e.g. remove snow from exterior
patio doors.
■ The family should have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can
be accounted for, e.g. across the street or at a neighbours.
■ Once everyone is out of the house call the Fire Department.
■ A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate first or attempt to
fight the fire and do not attempt to rescue valuables or pets as this takes up
valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire
department.
■ Write the plan down and rehearse frequently so that should an emergency
arise, everyone will know what they are to do. Revise the plan as conditions
change, e.g. more or fewer family member or changes to the house.
■ Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests as
noted elsewhere in this manual. If you are unsure about system operation,
contact your installing dealer.
■ It is recommended that you contact your local fire department and request
further information on home fire safety and escape planning. If available, have
your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.

KEYPAD ZONES
There are three keys on the keypad labeled [F] Fire, [A] Auxiliary and [P] Panic.
These keys are only functional if they have been programmed by the installer. The
installer should indicate which of these keys are active by placing a colored label
next to the key.
[F] FIRE
Holding this key down for two seconds will sound a fire alarm. The alarm will sound
pulsing and a transmission will be sent to the monitoring station. The keypad will
sound three beeps once the panel has accepted the alarm.
[A] AUXILIARY
Holding this key down for two seconds will send a transmission to the monitoring
station.
[P] PANIC
Holding this key down for two seconds will send a transmission to the monitoring
station. The installer can program this key to sound the alarm or to transmit the alarm
silently.

MONITORING
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles, and emergency information
over telephone lines to a monitoring station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm,
immediately call the monitoring station to prevent an unnecessary response.
NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes
functional.
GENERAL SYSTEM OPERATION
Your security system is made up of a PC4000 and one or more LCD-4500 and various
detectors and sensors. The DSC control panel will be mounted out of the way in a
utility room or basement. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses
and stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer or
service person to have access to the control panel. The LCD-4500 keypads have an
audible indicator, an alphanumeric LCD, (Liquid Crystal Display), and command entry
keys. The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current
system status. The keypad(s) will be mounted in convenient locations inside the
protected premises close to the exit-entry doors.
The security system has several zones or areas of protection and each of these
zones will have one or more detection sensors connected to it (motion detectors,
glassbreak detectors, door contacts or shock sensors). When a sensor is in alarm,
the zone in alarm will be displayed on the LCD-4500.
TROUBLE AND ARMED LED DISPLAYS
The LCD-4500 has a yellow LED on the right side of the keypad which represents
the trouble status of the panel. There is a red LED just below the yellow one which
represents the armed status of the panel.
SYSTEM MASTER CODES
System Master Codes are used for arming and disarming the control panel, for
viewing the armed/disarmed status of the partitions, for programming additional
security codes and for entering ‘user functions’. See [✱][5] User Programming
Commands for programming System Master Codes. In the disarmed state, entering a
Master Code will cause a nine selection menu to be displayed as follows:
[0] Arm Partition
[1] Arm Diff Part.
[2] Disarm Diff Part
[3] View Partitions
[4] Set System Time
[5] Set System Date
[6] System Reset
[7] Enable DLS Window
[8] Previous Menu
[0] Arm Partition will arm the partition the keypad is on. The keypad will display the
message ‘Exit delay in progress’ and the armed light will come on.
[1] Arm Diff Part. will show a menu of the other partitions and their armed/disarmed
status. R means it is ready to be armed, N means it is not ready to be armed,
and A means the partition is armed. If the partition status is R, then this partition
can be selected to be armed. If a partition is not enabled, it will not be displayed.
2
MAINTENANCE
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following points
should be observed.
1.Do not wash the keypad with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a barely damp cloth
